PUBG Battlegrounds Desert Map Miramar

BATTLEGROUNDS fans will be able to check out the Desert map on the test servers soon.

Bluehole's new Miramar Desert map is said to provide players with new gameplay strategies.

"We are excited beyond words that we can finally share the name of our new desert map and tell you a little bit about some of the places you can visit," reads a Bluehole blog post.

"When we decided to create a new map, we focused on creating an environment that is very different from Erangel. We wanted to go the opposite direction of having lush fields and forests and arrived at the harsh and unforgiving desert of what we can now reveal is Miramar.

"The unique terrain and dense urban areas of Miramar will create a new Battle Royale experience where the old strategies may no longer work and new tactics are required."

Ahead of PUBG's December 12 release date on Xbox One, Microsoft has released the first DLC bundle.

For a limited time only, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds fans can purchase the Warrior Pack from the Microsoft store, where it's available for £7.99.

The PUBG Warrior Pack includes a balaclava hat, a camo t-shirt, pants and tennis shoes. These can be used to customise your character.

The PUBG Accessory and PUBG Tracksuit packs will be released on December 14 and December 21, respectively.

"These packs are exclusive to Xbox fans as standalone offers available for a limited time and as there are no plans to feature any in-game purchases in the Xbox Game Preview version, they are the only items that can be purchased during this period," Microsoft warns.
